WayStar Group Becomes Platinum Sponsor of the FOC 2026 International Conference in Astana
WayStar Group LLP will act as the platinum sponsor of the fifth international fats and oils conference, FOC 2026: Fats and Oils Conference, which will take place on June 5 in Astana at the Hilton Astana hotel. The event is organized by the National Association of Oilseed Processors and will bring together key participants from Kazakhstan’s fats and oils industry and the international market.
WayStar Group’s participation as a platinum sponsor highlights the company’s strategic role in the development of export logistics and in ensuring stable supplies of products from the fats and oils sector. The company provides comprehensive solutions for organizing cargo transportation by all modes of transport, creating a reliable logistics infrastructure for international trade.
Today, Kazakhstan demonstrates significant potential for the accelerated development of the fats and oils industry. This is supported by favorable natural and climatic conditions, available processing capacities, and access to extensive sales markets that significantly exceed the country’s current export capabilities. Kazakhstani products are already supplied to more than 20 countries worldwide, and by the end of 2025, exports exceeded 1.5 million tons, amounting to approximately USD 963 million.
Special attention should be paid to the strengthening of the country’s position in the global market: Kazakhstan ranked 6th in the world in sunflower oil exports, improving its performance compared to previous years, and is aiming to enter the top three global suppliers. In addition, the republic plays a key role in supplying Central Asian countries with sunflower meal and is among the leading suppliers of this product to the European Union.
FOC 2026 will serve as an important platform for discussing key industry trends, developing export potential, and strengthening international cooperation. The conference will be attended by executives from more than 50 oil extraction plants in Kazakhstan, agricultural producers, representatives of government agencies, financial institutions, as well as international partners, importers, and logistics companies.
WayStar Group continues to actively support the development of the industry by offering effective logistics solutions and contributing to the expansion of the supply geography of Kazakhstani products in global markets.
